Comment on `Recombination induced softening and reheating of the cosmic plasma'
Wan Yan Wong, Douglas Scott
Leung, Chan & Chu (2004) claimed that a previously neglected reheating effect makes a small but noticeable change to the process of cosmological recombination. We revisit this effe…
An upper limit to polarized submillimetre emission in Arp 220
Michael Seiffert, Colin Borys, Douglas Scott +1
We report the results of pointed observations of the prototypical ultra-luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) Arp 220 at 850 microns using the polarimeter on the SCUBA instrument on the…
The effect of forbidden transitions on cosmological hydrogen and helium recombination
Wan Yan Wong, Douglas Scott
More than half of the atoms in the Universe recombined via forbidden transitions, so that accurate treatment of the forbidden channels is important in order to follow the cosmologi…
SCUBA-2: a 10,000 pixel submillimeter camera for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope
Wayne Holland, Michael MacIntosh, Alasdair Fairley +30
SCUBA-2 is an innovative 10,000 pixel submillimeter camera due to be delivered to the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in late 2006. The camera is expected to revolutionize submillime…
How Many Universes Do There Need To Be?
Douglas Scott, J. P. Zibin
In the simplest cosmological models consistent with General Relativity, the total volume of the Universe is either finite or infinite, depending on whether or not the spatial curva…
Using Spitzer to probe the nature of submillimetre galaxies in GOODS-N
Alexandra Pope, Douglas Scott, Mark Dickinson +4
How does the submm galaxy population detected by SCUBA fit into galaxy evolution? How do these rare starbursting systems, which contribute significantly to high redshift star-forma…
